Bumper question.

Yo doods,

Was jetwashing the car today as it was a right state, and took a bit of the paint off the bumper when it had been resprayed at some point. Is in a bit of a state anyway as its had parking scrapes before so was just gauging an idea as to how much it would cos to respray an 6n 8v bumper, if I were to supply the paint?

Not in a rush to get it done but was just curious.

Any help'd be tops.

Cheers
Rob.

Id guessimate bout 80quid m8, obviously depending on where you go and quality of work.

there is a moral to this story.............never ever jetwash your car!

Quick response ftw.

Ahh thats not too bad tbh, are there any guys on here with shops, or appropriate materials to do so?

wouldn it be easyer to find one in a scrappy for around the 20 quid mark i found a mint front wing for mine and it cost me a tenner i no u want a front bumper

It wasnt my intention tbh, Id never think of jetwashing a motor but I wanted it cleaner for the meet and have no time to do proper jobbie.

Ill also add it was my dad that took over and was knocking the bugger about, probably loadsa dings on it now.

Yeah was thinking about doing that tbh, was just curious as to a price using same one. Probs get it done in next couple months, but this aint cool as I need my coilovers!

greasedupdeafguy - brad. he can do it for you im sure. look him up on here or smoothcustomz on facebook

yeah but is that the wing youve covered in smarties that match you paint perfectly?

shouldnt think theres too many polos in the colour sittign in scrapyards with mint bumpers

no it was a red wing which i have now sprayed matt black ready to go on me car and theres a few around i think red lodge has a green on in there

haha, yeah I see about five every day, obviously a desirable machine!

I could do, but Id rather save up and use existing bumper. Also, how much more would it cost to have the recess removed? Roughly..

get your bumper sorted in the summer, when all this crap weather has passed. no point having a bumper sprayed when its gonna filthy most of the time.

coilovers on the other hand, worth having anytime of year

Amen, Mark.

Why the fudge did I not think of that?

Dont spose anyone has any HTs or TAs sitting about for about 150notes? Haha

look on club polo mate people sell some on there if not go on the bay and get some coilovers from belgium there 179 quid delivered

Aye, think Im gonna opt for the 'bay ones, once funds finally allow..not long now.

Cheers for your help, loving it.

i put ebay specials on my 1.4 mk3 golf. if you go down all the way or really anywhere past 80mm the car acts like it doesnt even have suspension.

its fun but if this is your daily i wouldnt go there, trust me you back will thank you for that extra 200£.

heard ap's are good and there not really braking that bank at £350ish

Yeah Ive heard this about them. Thanks for your input max.

To be honest, and I know you lot arent gonna like the sounds of this, but I shouldnt think itll be going down as much as 80mm, well not at the moment anyway. It'll be on 15s so I reckon I can still make it look decent. Is it possible to polish a turd? We shall see..
